Legacy Utilizing navbar

[Freekoid]

I've always been a firm believer of utilizing space, when it comes to the arcade there is nothing in the navbar area ie under the navtabs.

Will you be implementing anything into this area?

I know I will be adding a 'Request Game' link which will lead to a request thread in another part of my forum <ul><li> FTW

havent decided yet, waiting to finish other features, open to ideas

Ok, I had a good look at v3 and iB

v3 seems a little poor but I have a feeling this may be a template change as it just reads Arcade Games , Leaderboard & Tournament Dropdown.
iB is a little fuller, but again has the tournament and leaderboard but also has a dropdown category list and misc menu.

I guess all arcade are roughly the same but nothing striking, only a play on words, tournaments could be challenges, duels, battles etc
There's a list for all sorts of things that you can use, latest <variable> tourneys, players, scores, crowns, winnings
King and Queens of the arcade linked to a podium of sorts

Player of the month would look good

I am definitely looking forward too charging for games, either vbcredits or vbshop so points total sat in navbar could be good to see what credit we have and of course winning points in tourneys goes without saying - Jackpots set for each game, vBarcade needs that competitive edge and not 'just another arcade' IMO


On a side note tournaments on iB can get a ridiculous when someone sets 16 players for a tourney and then we have to wait for them to be filled.

I am planning tournaments/challenges, and of course currency integration, in that order, but after done fleshing out the rest

 

[Freekoid]

Good to hear.

Jackpots... ok, now that's awesome.... I really like that idea. =)

Basing it off of the credits spent on the game, winning a percentage, or a set amount, etc.. Weeee Ok, I'm sold on that idea, it'll be ready tomorrow, right DW?

 

[Darkwaltz4]

yeah sure

really though, im planning on not doing anything currency related built in. the other two arcades made that mistake, and its why everyone hates trying to hook up their currency mods to them. The relationships and locations were hard coded, so you couldnt switch to something else without a mountain of file edits, and it didnt help that the hardcoded currency mod they were integrated to became obsolete and the arcades never updated. integration facilitation was actually one of the primary catalysts for taking on this project.

 

[Freekoid]

So will jackpots be possible? I do think this would make the arcade take a rather large stride forward! A pro option of course!

 

[Darkwaltz4]

Yes! but itll be up to the currency addon to deal with

of course, vbcredits II will be making one, and itll be the preferred one for obvious reasons, but it wont be hardcoded in any way, and lots of hooks for the others to use.

 

[Freekoid]

lol, I didnt think you were that biased John, must corner Fillip H. to add the vBshop option too :3

 

[Darkwaltz4]

Obvious reason being the person who wrote the arcade would also be writing that particular currency integration he would have to learn the arcade from scratch, so at a time disadvantage.

oh, also cuz Fillip H. sucks. jk! xD

haha well, sounds good though and I can see why you made the decisions you have.

What'll be funny though is... I'm going to have an item shop just for the arcade.

And I'm, going to have... HATS... yes hats. It worked for Steam!!! =)
